Dark 11: Re-married vows

I was truly lost
For words or expression
How do you explain to a woman
Departed from your life a decade then
And returned to hound you
On why you re-married?
( Psst...the lilies smell nice that day.)

I harboured no bad thoughts on her
Who? My departed one I refer
We agreed not to be left lonely
I told her we won't and happiness shall reign
She went on and I was left alone
She returned and asked why I remarried.
( Psst... they developed Viagra then.)

I did and explained to her.
It was our calling to be happy
You were not by my side
And I found physical comfort in another
Though she was your friend or assumed she was
I was asked by her to get re-married.
( Psst....She was married before but finder keepers ).

I had with my departed over three decades
The children grew and left me alone
She left me for the next better version of life
Miserable I was but how was I know
My new wife was to wear her clothes
She did not tell me she could fit in before we remarried.
( Psst... I could have sworn it was loose at the seams )

Yes, we shared your bed that was once ours
No, you need not lay there spread eagle now
No, I did not mean I don't like you
Yes, I would have done it if I could
No, it has nothing to do with her
But it does not seem right, I am re-married.
( Psst... I had not taken my pill then.)

God! Is it our sex life we are now complaining on
I did my romps with you then
Yes, you did not scream like her aloud
But no, we did try some from the Kama Sutra
Yes, it did not all worked for you
Can't blame me when it does when I got remarried.
( Psst...I loved ballerinas..)

My love who had departed
I asked thee for forgiveness
I confessed I asked her for her hand
I can assure you it was hard for me
But I had longs years of misery without you
So I chance myself on getting remarried.
( Psst...taking the long putt to land for the hole in one. )

And thank you, my love
We did have thirty long years
And a small litter to comfort over
I do and still do love you
Yes, it was for the physical warmth I have her
I will promise not to tell her that was why I remarried.
( Psst...thank you, God.)
